simplify Rights of Way legislation so the network can be made fit for modern use
Our historic Rights of Way network is no longer fit for purpose, the legislation is complex making changes or diversions time consuming and prohibitively expensive.
Changes are needed to prevent users coming in to conflict with livestock, households, business premises and farm machinery.
Each year there are several incidents of Rights of Way users being severely injured or killed by livestock, equally there are many incidents of livestock being harmed, when a simple re-alignment or diversion would be beneficial to all parties.
Similarly many ancient paths are routed through domestic, farm and business premises creating safety and security issues for both users and occupiers.
The petition is not to impinge on the rights of users but to make the network fit for modern usage.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
